title: Management of tubal prolapse after hysterectomy.
abstract: Uterine tube prolapse into the vaginal vault is an uncommon complication after hysterectomy, and our 6 patients bring to 90 the number of cases reported in the literature. Symptoms consist almost exclusively of vaginal bloody discharge and/or leukorrhea, persistent pelvic pain, and dyspareunia. Surgical treatment must be individualized according to the patient's symptoms. In our series, sexually active women with pelvic pain and dyspareunia had the best outcome when a combined laparoscopic and vaginal approach was used.
